She's in some honky-tonk tonight I know Dancing where the music's loud and lights are low In a crowded bar she likes to hang around And as long as there's a honky-tonk, she never settle down Close all the honky-tonks, lock all the doors Don't let the one I love go there anymore Close all the honky-tonks, throw away the key Then maybe the one I love will come back to me I wish I had the power to turn back the time And live again the hours when she was all mine It hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown And as long as there's a honky-tonk, she never settle down Close all the honky-tonks, lock all the doors Don't let the one I love go there anymore Close all the honky-tonks, throw away the key Then maybe the one I love will come back to me Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
